Name: Scott Leffler
Previous title: CFO and treasurer for sterilization and lab testing provider Sotera Health
New title: Chief financial officer, insurtech company Clover Health
Nashville-based Clover said in July that then-CFO Joe Wagner will resign from the position that summer. Wagner had been in charge of guiding Clover’s IPO through a merger with a special purpose acquisition firm in early 2021.
Due to the demands of being the CFO of a public firm in addition to a family member’s health issues, Wagner decided to leave the position.
Since Wagner’s resignation in August 2021, Mark Herbers of the consulting company AlixPartners has served as Clover’s interim CFO.
Leffler will work for Clover and report to CEO Vivek Garipalli starting in August of this year.
Garipalli stated in a statement that he was impressed by Leffler’s track record as a finance leader in challenging industries and his leadership expertise with growing businesses.
Since 2017, Leffler has been the CFO of Sotera. Over the course of his five years there, he led the lab company’s global finance, procurement, and IT teams and assisted Sotera in growing to generate nearly $1 billion in revenue. In 2020, Leffler oversaw the IPO of Sotera.
Leffler was CFO and treasurer at Exal Corporation, now known as Trivium Packaging, a packaging company, before he joined Sotera. Additionally, he had a number of executive finance positions with PolyOne Corporation, now known as Avient, a manufacturer.
